JOHN II. CRAIG, the heaviest man in the
world, and his dime museum of living curl
osities will be in Montpelier again on Fri
day and Saturday of this week, and will ex-
hibit at Capital Hall. Since his former visit
several new attractions have been added.
Open day and evening. No one should fail
to visit this interesting exhibition.
IT is hardly to be supposed that one medi-
cine will cure every form of disease. If it
will take care of one or two troublesome
disorders, without attempting the whole
catalogue, it will find its hands full. At
least this is the case with DR.. j. @. A. Pack
er's remedy for rheumatism and catarrh,
which is now having so extensive sale
throughout the state. Actual cures of so
stern nature have been wrought by its use
that its efficacy cannot be denied. Circulars
filed with testimonials from familiar sources
can be had of your druggist AS you read,
remember it is honest testimony you peruse,
and if you want to do good spread the news
broadcast that positive remedy for rheu-
matism and catarrh has been found.
WHEN the great Barnum and London
show arrives in Montpelier, which will be
on Saturday morning next, those who may
remember the circus as it existed in their
younger days will have the opportunity of
making comparison between what the
circus used to be and what it is to-day
Then it was a simple, crude affair, with one
ring; now it is, as exemplifed in this show
perfect revelation. The talking and sing
ing clown is a thing of the past, and in his
place are scores of pantomimic clowns, not
one of whom will speak, but all will act
caper, laugh comfort, distort and do such
funny things as will make old and young
laugh until their sides ache. Wonders in
nature, astounding feats and marvellous ex
! hibtions of trained animals will bewildei
every one; while the purity and excellence
! of the exhibition its instructive character
and the perfection to which its myriad fea
lures are brought will render it as useful al
it will be surprising

from the remarks OF Mr.. Claiborne, OF

last words were scarcely uttered when a
person in the gallery clapped.
"'Sergeant," said Speaker Sedgwick, of
Massachusetts, see TO that man.

took the person out without resistance.
We understand that he was Kept In con-

a shed near the Capitol, and which was
not to be found when he was released, he
